and all the other games stop then and there, the count reverting to the last com pleted deal. At the conclusion of the per- formance thé’ person having won the great- est number of games gets a prize, an ‘d fre- quently there are a number of other prizos

for those finishing near the top.

For each game won the player pastes a little star of colored paper on his or her card, ‘These serve us counters and afford an adequate basis for accusations of cheat- ing. Recently there was a large and typ- ical progressive euchre contest for charity, open to ladies only, beld in a public build- ing in Brooklyn, at which a reporter was present. Being unarmeored, he sat in the gallery, where he was out of danger’s way and could see everything. Explanations of the movements were furnished to him by a young lady who wasn’t playing on account of injuries to her feelings received a week before in a game in which she had been wrongfully, maliciously, illegally, underhandedly and cevilishly deprived of third prize.

‘‘Now they’re going to begin,"’ said the reporter’s mentor as somebody rang a big gong several times.

Immediately about 500 women on. the floor began rushing tumultuously about the place, while the air buzzed with the inquiry:

‘*Which is my table?’’

A red baired woman who sat at a stand near the door seemed to be in charge, as- sisted by eight young women wearing badges.

**'They’re the scorers,’’ said the mentor, “‘and before this is over they'll wish they were dead.’

A few moments were consumed in the distribution of playing and score cards, after which the manager called out:

‘Play will now begin at the sound of the gong and continue until the gong rings, when,all hands must be thrown down. Are you all ready?”’

‘“‘Wait! wait!’’ shrieked a little woman shrilly. ‘* This pack hasn’t any joker in it.”’

‘We @gon't play eucbre with a joker here,’”’ replicd the manager in withering tones. ‘‘We will proceed.”’

‘I'd like to know where she comes from,’’ commented the mentor, **to want to play with the joker!”’

Clang! went the gong, and the game commenced. For five minutes there was comparative silence, broken only by spo-

radic wrangles over tricks cropping up at various tables. Then somebody at ‘the king table cried:

‘‘That’sfive. We’reout. Ring the bell.”

Again the bell sounded, and this time it was the signal for pandemoniui.

‘*Play the hand out.’”’ ‘*No; play stops now.’’. ‘‘No, it don't."’ ‘**We’re ahead.”’ “It isn’t fair; you ought to play out.”’ ‘“‘When the trick is on the board, you have to take it up.’’ ‘The hand is finished.”’ **Here, bring the stars.’’ ‘‘No, not there. We won that band.’”’

Five hundred separate questions were fired siimultaneousiy at the manager, while the scorers tried to wnravel the snarl. A gaunt woman finally obtained recognition by standing upon a chair and waving her arms.

“When diamonds are trumps, does the right bower take the left bower?’’ is what she wanted to know in thunderous tones.

“Sit down!’ called a scoreof voices, and she subsided under a load of explanations.

It vas, only it seemed to grow worse each tliwe. At one time there were ho less than 20 women who, having rushed up the floor, were waving frantic arms at the manager and demanding that justice be done though the roof fall, which it seemed very likely todo. Then four players got ipto so animated a discussion that they all burst into tears and left the game, yowing

that it served them rig ht for entering a public progressive euchre game, where you atti rt tell what kind of @ j

were playing with it was quite vain lor the scorers to try to keep order, but in some way or other they managed to get the tables rearranged and the play to pre ceed. Once the king table made itself un popular by absentmindedly playing on past the five points, which, when it be-

came known, caused all the losers in that

band to demand that no count be made of it.

This sort of thing kept on fortwo hours the number of players diminis! after each hand. Atthe Snal hand there was almost a riot, and it seemed likely for a time that the police would have to be called in to save the lives of the manager and scorers. Quiet being finally restored, it was found that the statistics of the game were approximately as follows: Number of players entered.......60 sessseee 400 Catt the GRO 1 BRTOP, ..o000 00 00eseseecnrese 37 Latt the mame i CORPS. .....scccoceesseveceese 26 Left the game in hysterics iil Miles 2 Refused to play because of unladylike be

A week later they were and the announcements were immediately fol lowed by storms of protest. But, as it bap- pened, the decision was reached in the
